I stayed at a rural Airbnb that had it in place of a wired connection. It was pretty good for download (100mbps fairly consistently) but the latency jitter and upload speeds made it almost unusable for video calls and it did cut out for a minute or so once or twice over the course of a few days. It's definitely a nice option but it's hard to rely on. I certainly wouldn't want to work remotely using it as my main connection for any length of time.

My requirements may be different but my experience is that it's usable for remote work but, yes, you need to be tolerant of it cutting out for a bit every now and then (but, hey, that happens with Comcast 50 miles outside of a major city) and maybe drop off video for a call especially if you have reasonable cellular backup. It really is pretty much Starlink or nothing in many rural locations in the US.

  I used Starlink for fully remote work for a couple years in a rural area (US West). I had occasional 5-15 second drops until the satellite-picking algorithm was updated (from the closest satellite to the satellite with the best signal). Ever since, it has been nearly flawless for my remote job purposes; however, speedtesting indicates a mild slowdown over time. I was an early-ish adopter, so I have the first gen hardware. I think that may make some difference.
